Connect2Care: Prostate Cancer Education for African American Men
This study, called Connect2Care, aims to improve understanding of prostate cancer and encourage screening among African American men. Prostate cancer is a significant health concern for this group. The study is testing two different phone apps: the Prostate Cancer Genius App and the US Prevention Taskforce App. You would use one of these apps for one month to learn more about prostate cancer. Researchers want to see if using these apps increases your awareness of prostate cancer and screening benefits. The study is looking for 466 African American men in Oklahoma, aged 45-69, who have not been diagnosed with prostate cancer and haven't had a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test in the last two years. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 466 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to use one of two different apps.
- What's involved
- You would use a phone app for one month. The study will measure your awareness at 30 days.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your awareness will be measured at 30 days after starting the app.

What this trial measures
- Awareness30 Days
Awareness will be measured by reach and penetration of the intervention. For the Social Media Campaign, reach will be determined by the percentage of participants who successfully engage with intervention and will be calculated by the number of impressions (i.e., number of times adverts are seen) divided by the number of times participants engaged with the intervention (i.e., click through rate). This will determine a click through rate, which can be calculated per study ad and geographic region. For the Community Health Events, reach will be determined by the number of events hosted and the number of participants who attend. Penetration will also be explored through a geographic informational systems (GIS) analysis to better understand whether spatial (e.g., distance to CHCO sites) and/or participant-level characteristics (e.g., age) were associated with greater likelihood to engage with the intervention (both Social Media Campaign and Community Health Events) and/or complete a PSA.
